Why is it masculine?
Billete is masculine. While it does derive from Romance language roots related to "billet" (a small document or note), the explanation about Latin "billeta" is inaccurate. The word entered Spanish through French "billet," and the masculine gender comes from the French masculine form, not from a Latin diminutive ending in "-eta." The "-ete" ending in Spanish is indeed a diminutive suffix that typically produces masculine nouns, which helps reinforce the masculine gender, but the Latin etymology claim is problematic.
